But my actual question is: how is this problem (change to local-time / set timezone) solved by others (as this should be a common problem)?

What do you mean with start menu? Bootloader with several additional boot-options for grml or grml-quickconfig (menu after you booted grml allowing easy start/change several things like keyboard layout)? For the later it should be easily doable to write a new entry. Have a look at man grml-quickconfig and the menu entries in /usr/share/grml- quickconfig/ Ulrich ___ Grml mailing list - Grml@mur.at http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
